3. Inserting Choice (Polls) to give students voice
If you need quickly to gauge students' progress or to have a simple way of allowing them to vote on a particular issue, then use the Choice activity. This video and the text underneath it explain how.
Video tutorial
The Choice activity allows you to set up radio buttons which users can click to make a selection. They can choose one or more option and they can - if you wish - update their choice more than once.
As a teacher you can always see the results, but you can also choose whether or not - and when - to allow learners to see each others' choices and whether or not to allow them to see the names or merely the percentage of votes. Choice options may be restricted by number and you can also view those who have not made their selection and (if needed) make a selection on their behalf.
